Though, can one boot from it?
Check if the BIOS has an option to do so.

His bios supportss PXE, DVD (which is broken at the controller) FDD and HDD and USB. I think it is pretty well covered insofar as sources is concerned.
It is about IDE device connected to adapter card (not on board IDE). It should act in the same way as on board IDE, theoretically, but without actually inserting card, connecting DVD and attempting boot it is not possible to be sure. If DVD drive works in another computer than addon adapter would solve problem of bad onboard IDE. Though, I would check SATA DVD drives too. Newer boards have a lot of SATA headers, and price of new drive can be comparable to adapter card for IDE. BTW, by now you had enough time to try other available options :-) -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
